 | | Question about generating curves
|
|
What is an optional line? These seem to be used for modeling curves, but I don't have a clue how to use them. While I'm asking, what is a BFC statement? Um... and why does MLCAD use a German-localized cancel button for the BFC statement dialog? -- (...) (24 years ago, 10-Jan-01, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

| | New Part: 3437peye.dat: Duplo Brick 2 x 2 with Eyes Pattern on Two Sides [DAT]
|
|
Here is a Duplo 2x2 with eyes on both sides. It's a fairly common piece, and I thought it would be a great first printed piece for me to do from scratch. I don't know why I thought this was a good piece to start with. This was a major pain, what (...) (24 years ago, 10-Jan-01, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) True. But the internal supports are also a very visible feature if you look underneath- much more so than the flattened edges in my opinion. And we seem to be agreeing that these aren't important. These and the top depression also add a (...) (24 years ago, 9-Jan-01, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) Do you mean like a mesh? Not really. (...) You make the decoration by drawing all the hex's. In this case especially. Steve (24 years ago, 9-Jan-01, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) Thanks, Steve. I'll play around with it and see what happens. Also, just wondering, but is there any way to model a net in MLCad? One last thing: I have not looked at your file yet, but what i did was i put the Primitve 4-8SPHE.DAT into my (...) (24 years ago, 9-Jan-01, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

|

Here's the soccer ball, with the GDL converted to standard LDraw. No LDL or MPD. I also just realized that there are no conditional lines between the facets. Oops. They shouldn't be too hard to add, but I'd start with the LDL code I posted a little (...) (24 years ago, 9-Jan-01, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

And because of the LDLite code, LUGNET doesn't recognize that the post contains an LDraw file. C'est la vie. I was planning on posting plain DAT code as well. That'll be up next. Steve (...) (24 years ago, 9-Jan-01, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

Here is an MPD with LDLite code for a soccer ball. The LDLite language extensions allowed me to generate and use the exact values for the vertices more easily than raw LDraw code. Because of the language, I *think* only LDLite (and probably LDGLite) (...) (24 years ago, 9-Jan-01, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) I like the flattened sides simply because they are a visible feature of the bricks. But then I would also have tackled the little depression on the top center, too. There is the fact that this particular detail varies from brick to brick. The (...) (24 years ago, 9-Jan-01, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
